I am not sure if it is because I just recently resetted my PC but everytime I try to import any kind of video format it tells me it could not read from source and that the file might be corrupted (I tried it with many other file and none of them worked so it can't be that).

I have though maybe I need to install some kind of software to read those files?

I would greatly appreaciate an answer 😄

Reinstall the programs to repair and reinstate all CoDecs. And if you indeed did a reset to a default factory install or custom restore point, you may need to run a ton of driver and system updates as well that have been lost.

I haven't tried downloading Drivers yet but I'll try it later.

There was something else I noticed.

After effects was the first software I installed and I could import video formats at first but after installing some plugins and restarting the pc it stopped working
